| BEL 1001 MK5 driving Joseph Audio Pulsars Thank you @mesch. I suspected used prices would be close to what you posted. It's a shame these aren't being built anymore. | |
| BEL 1001 MK5 driving Joseph Audio Pulsars The BEL amps are kind of "underground"... What is a reasonable price for a Mk V? Mk IV? | |
| Rock and roll speakers? I'll second or third the recommendations for the classic Klipsch speakers, with a special soft spot for the Heresey model. I thought they sounded just as good as the Forte, but were much smaller and easier to live with.My own, personal opinion, I ... | |
| Bryston BP26 with Pass Labs Chad2635,I've not had either preamp, but I did have the Bryston and Threshold active cross-overs in my system (with Threshold amplification). For me it was the classic "detail vs. bright, extended vs. harsh" situation. Where some might have heard ... | |
| Auto audio I used a Radio Shack SPL meter and Stereophile test disc to manually set the internal equalizer and have been tweaking for a week or so. The sound is pretty good. The combination of DEH-80PRS, JL Audio 6" drivers and my car don't produce the utmos... | |
| Auto audio I was able to install the Pioneer DEH 80PRS this weekend, but haven't been able to dial in the sound yet (time alignment and EQ adjustments). My kids think it looks cool, so that's something. Even without dialing it in, the sound is pretty good, t... | |
| Auto audio Sarcher30,Thanks for the information. The DEX-P9 is available, but way outside my budget. I'm hopeful the DEH 80PRS will be good enough. | |
| Auto audio Ebm, I pulled the trigger and the Pioneer DEH 80PRS was delivered and may get installed this weekend. I'll post some impressions here when the install is finished.Ohlala, I thought about just buying another Nakamichi, but they don't offer the mode... | |
| Balanced headphone amps Stringreen,I also have a Headroom amp: an antique Little. My biggest problem with Headroom products is they are no longer in production. Too bad for headphone users. | |
| Balanced headphone amps Thanks, Shaker, I've read several glowing reviews of the SPL Phonitor, but it will break my bank. The Mjolnir is intriguing for that reason. | |
| Any Recommendations on Custom Speaker Stands? Whitecap,Try Soundanchors in FL. | |
| Equipment that has made you 'stop' looking? Threshold SA-1 amplifiers. | |
| Auto audio Csmgolf,Eclipse doesn't make consumer audio anymore. That's how I ended up finding the Nakamichi I'm using now. Looks like I'll have to go with a new Nakamichi CD400. Even Nakamichi is downgrading, they used to market a CD500 with a bit of DSP, bu... | |
| Auto audio Mapman, I have an outboard power amp, so I don't care about the wattage of the head unit. Eclipse used to make source/ preamp only head units that sounded good, but they've since quit making consumer audio gear. Sigh. I owned two. The first outlas... | |
| I-Tunes-type software Clio09,That is good information I'll have to check out. I've read (but not experienced yet) that integer mode is worthwhile. My only experience with any software is with Windows Media Player (hated it) and a bit with I-Tunes (did't like it, either... |
